Discussion of Problem:
The surface pressure for this sounding was entered by the operator as 997.5
hPa. The first pressure value reported by the sonde is 986.9 hPa. The surface
pressure at 20:30 was 988.3 and at 02:30 was 986.4. It appears that the
operator mistakenly entered the 997.5 rather than 987.5.
Note that this will affect the altitude calculation throughout the sounding.
Other observations/measurements impacted by this problem:
None
Suggested Corrections of the Problem: (e.g. change calibration factor and
recompute, flag data with this comment, etc.)
Flag data.
